摘要
明代自永乐朝开始从制度上限制勋臣参政,但仍保持他们世袭的尊隆地位。此后勋贵群体出现位高权低、迅速腐化蜕变的趋势。嘉靖皇帝优恤勋贵的做法激发了部分勋臣的参政欲望,万历朝诚意伯刘荩臣即是通过介入党争、为难东林官员而捞取政治利益的代表。至南明弘光朝,诚意伯刘孔昭等大批勋臣依附于马士英、阮大铖,以贵胄之尊压制东林党人,协助阉党操控铨政,从而加速了弘光政权的败亡。勋臣恶意介入朝政的现象将明代勋臣制度的弊端暴露无遗,东林党人弘济时艰、坚持行政合理化的努力于政争中亦可见一斑。
The Yong-le government of the Ming Dynasty began to restrict the nobility class to participate in political affairs but reserved their noble status. From then on,the nobility class became corrupted and changed qualitatively. We could also see the efforts of Donglin Party that greatly relieved current difficulty by insisting on administrative rationalization.
